Pixies Vs. Dinosaur Jr.

~~TumorAttitude~~ · 07-29-2009, 09:22 PM

Pixies. I really don't care for Dinosaur Jr. I find it dull. I listened to one of their albums three times and I don't remember anything about it...Are you guys going to post a video of like, elevator music and tell me I don't know the meaning of the word boring?

I forgot that the Pixies did that song for Fight Club, which just makes my vote for them 10,000 times stronger.

Pixies because their bassist didn't form that piece of sh*t Sebadoh.

I've always enjoyed Dinosaur Jr. more, so I voted them.

Pixies! Come on.. Dino Jr. is all well and good, but I can listen to Pixies any time any day.

DJR because their bassist didn't form those pieces of sh*t Breeders & Amps.

Breeders >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sebadoh.

I like Deal as a singer and bassist. Can't say the same for Barlow, why is that guy idolized again? He was a completely inaudible bass player on two great Dinosaur Jr albums which he contributed absolutely nothing to, well whoopedy f*cking sh*t.

RE Barlow: He pretty much invented 'lo-fi' as we know it in his earliest Sebadoh recordings. Sparse and indulgent as it is - I like that music better than 80% of all rock music ever made. Also, Folk Implosion was a great band who harnessed extreme apathy and made it exciting, I'm not sure that has been done before or since.

Aside from that...

The answer is the Pixies by far.

For me it's Pixies no contest. I never got nearly as into Dinosaur Jr. as I did the pixies. I'm very picky about vocalists, and Frank Black is one of my favorites.

i don't like either band, but i can certainly see the appeal to the pastiche songwriting in Sebadoh moreso than Breeders.

and for the record, Barlow actually IS a great bassist (unlike Deal), he and Murph anchor the songs better than anyone else can (see: DJR in the '90s). and even his songwriting has vastly improved in DJR since their early material.
